According to the president, explosions of such power at such a depth can only be carried out by specialists who are supported by "the entire power of the state, which has certain technologies."

Earlier, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that it was obvious to Russia that the United States was responsible for undermining Nord Stream.

Explosions on three strings of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline systems occurred on September 26, 2022, near the Danish island of Bornholm.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that the UN Security Council should urgently adopt a resolution on the creation of an independent commission to investigate the explosions at Nord Stream.
